Jacksons Bakery & Café — Restaurant in Harden

Ive always pop into this cafe on my travels but I’ll never again after waiting in line to be served the barista just looking at me as you could see I was kind of in a rush for work anyway I popped back the cake where I had picked it up I had placed in front of the register and left as my job was arriving in town , next ring the barista chases me to my car with other people tapping on my bonet and was accusing me of stealing a cake . I was so offended and confused. I just looked at her and said no I placed it back on the counter and she just stared back at me with a very disgusted look. I’ll never ever come back to this cafe again . I think before chasing people out of the shop and accusing them of theft, They should check actually happened and pay attention to what they are accusing them especially in front of people. And just leaving your co worker to attended to a huge line whilst you’re just standing there doing nothing is very poor...

Hubby and I went there on Monday 20th March and tried to order from the board. We were told no, the kitchen closes at 3pm, you will need to to order something on the counter, which we did. We went to our table around the corner from the counter and our food was served to us in take away cardboard containers. My husband pointed out to me that it was actually 2.10pm, not 3 as was claimed by the waitress. We then overheard the waitresses saying that they will have to serve the bikers who were in the process of parking out front. They must have forgotten we were there. The restaurant decor is very nice, the food was fine but the staff should not be working in a service industry if they are unable to serve. I will not return, I saw a nice place in the neighbouring town that I will go to. It is preferble to feel welcome, not intrusive especially when visiting...

Wow. I just finished my meat my, I should have ordered another one. I asked what the best pie was and the lady recommended the “steak and dian”. It did not disappoint let me tell you. It was one of the best meat pies I’ve ever had. The coffee here is also good. It’s on par with the average cappuccino in a dedicated coffee shop in Sydney which is really something considering this is a bakery. Just to be clear, the cappuccino is good, I have no complaints about it. But the pie was unreal.

Next time I’m in Harden I’ll be popping in for another pie and cappuccino for sure. They were even kind enough to put a marshmallow on the lid of my coffee for free because I asked nicely 😅

It’s also a good atmosphere inside. Don’t miss it as it’s not on the main road you drive on when you pass through Harden. You won’t be...
